## Description

Manufacturer's Description The popularity of our NexStar 114 models inspired us to go bigger! We are proud to introduce NexStar 130 SLT. The NexStar 130 SLT has 30% more light-gathering power than our 114mm telescope. And the 130 SLT, like the other models in the SLT Series, comes with a fully computerized hand control. The computerized hand control gives you the ability to automatically slew to any of its 4,000+ objects, including over 600 galaxies, 300 clusters and dozens of beautiful binary stars. With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 114 SLT can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze. View the details of the lunar surface, the rings of Saturn, the polar ice caps on Mars, the cloud belts on Jupiter or a number of the Messier objects such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M13), or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). Begin to explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capabilities of the 130 SLT’s 5" primary mirror. Because of the Newtonian design, the mirror gives fully color-corrected views that are best suited for astronomical use.

Review: Excellent choice for the adult beginner. - After spending a number of decades as a backyard astronomer using binoculars, I have finally taken the plunge and bought a telescope. So what are my thoughts after 7 clear nights observing? Well firstly if you are thinking of doing the same DO IT. This telescope is good value for money. The instructions to put it together are short, clear and simple. It arrived on time and was very well packaged in 3 (yes 3) boxes plus the obligatory polystyrene and bubble wrap. Once put together my telescope now lives on its tripod and is easily portable by an over 60 year old. As a complete telescope beginner, it got me up and running immediately. - Except that unlike the description there were not batteries supplied - however having an outdoor power supply, I had ordered the power adaptor. The finderscope once aligned (alignment was easy) is very helpful. The two lenses supplied give good views compared to my hand held ancient but very good 16x60 binoculars which I am still using really as a wide angle view. - largely because of my hand shake when holding the bins... However I am looking to upgrade the lenses as quickly as money allows... The telescope is not however completely removed from vibration and t movement, but is much better if the tripod is not extended fully. However wind will wobble it as will human interference... annoying. So after a few sessions - as a total telescope beginner - largely because of cloudy skies or semi cloudy (rather annoying) skies what have I seen/was impressed with using only the lenses supplied (which most reviews suggest are not the best)? 1. The telescope will seperate Saturn and the rings - just - using the lenses provided. 2. Jupiter and the 4 moons look similar to a binocular view, but sharper and some banding on Jupiter can be seen. 3. The moon (advise you to get a moon filter) is stunning. 4. Views of clusters such as the Sword Handle/double cluster in Perseus, the Hyades, the Pleides, the Leaping Minnow in Auriga are good. 5. Scanning through constellations such as Cygnus, Cepheus, Cassiopeia similar to viewing the Milky Way through binoculars has been fun. 6. Binary stars - Albeiro in Cygnus, 30/31 Cygni, Epsilon Lyrae have been good. Again only with the lenses supplied, what have been disappointments? a. M31 - but also not great in binoculars. b. M27, M57, but I suspect they might be better with better lenses. c. Annoying having to re focus when you change lenses. (looking to get the Baader zoom asap) And what simple errors have I made? i. Not always waiting for my eyes to become accustomed to the dark. ii. Expecting to find things in the 9mm lense first - much easier to start with the wide angle 25mm. iii. Making sure that the telescope does not get stuck on the tripod when viewing objects nearly overhead. iv Assuming that everything will look better at a higher magnification - it doesn't. v. Standing up to observe using the telescope - does my back in - so I am now using an adjustable stool... Overall a good purchase and I am very pleased with it... However I can see that like the binoculars it will become addictive and will "demand" more money for lenses etc. etc...
Review: 3 months in - I love it! - This review is for the NexStar 130 SLT specifically. As a complete novice to astronomy - I took a bit of a gamble, set myself a budget and decided I'd get the best telescope I could for the money that I had. The fact it come on a mount which can automatically identify and target points of interest in the sky was a bonus for me also. Setting up: I personally found it incredibly easy to set up. Everything fit in place without any parts that felt like they were an ill fit. The mount has a spirit level measurement thing on the top and because this mount tracks things in space, it is important to make sure you level the mount out perfectly to get the most out of your experience. The 'Star Align' function is awesome, simply use the handset to point the telescope at 3 bright objects in the sky, wait for it to confirm that it's identified what those 3 objects are and then you can select from a rather comprehensive list of items and the telescope will move and point where the selected object is. Really is easy! There are other methods of setting up the alignment but for out of the box speed, I found this to be the fastest. What can you see? Well, I purchased a 2x Barlow and looked up at the moon using a 9x lens. I spent about an hour viewing the various craters and scarred surface. To me, the optics appear really good. I didn't notice any issues with viewing things. I'm sure more seasoned astronomers will be able to comment about the pros and cons of this telescope but for a beginner it certainly impressed me massively. I then put a 6x lens in (lower the number, the higher the magnification but at a trade off with field of vision...I think?) and pointed the telescope at a bright star in the sky. Yeah - it wasn't a star, it was Jupiter! I could actually see the 2 orange/red rings of the planet as I looked through the eye piece. Yes it was small but I could definitely make out it was Jupiter. I was highly impressed. Overall, as a novice to this field, I love my telescope. I've barely scratched the surface of what I can view but I really look forward to looking up at the night sky (when the cloud goes!). For me, it feels well made, gives nice views and the options for using the automatic finder function is really useful too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am planning to buy my first telescope - how good is this for an amateur? Also, do I need to buy anything separately to get started with this one?**
A: This is great for an amateur. You'll get great views of the moon and the brighter Messier objects (nebulae and so on). With a high magnification eyepiece you'll be able see the planets too. You don't need anything else up front but if you want to observe for a long time, you'll find that the go-to motor chews through batteries. You can buy a mains adapter to run it from a household electricity in your garden, or an external battery pack, or an adapter to run it from your car cigarette lighter if you're further from home.The kit comes with two eyepieces which are OK. In future you may wish to upgrade them to nicer ones, but wait until you've reached the limitation of the bundled ones before you take the next step. Then you'll know better what your needs are.Finally, these telescopes don't come with any carry case but they are delicate items. You can buy dedicated custom cases which are expensive, but I cheaped out and took the telescope to B&Q and found a sturdy toolbox that was the right size. I lined it with custom-cut foam from a fabric shop and cut out a shape for the telescope and the eyepieces to go into.

**Q: I am a little confused about eyepiece size. The description seems to indicate that it is 2", where-as 1.25" appears to be the norm. What is it?**
A: 1.25 is the norm. The 130SLT has a 2" tube for eyepieces which is fitted with an adapter to take 1.25" eyepieces - the two eyepieces that come with the kit are 1.25". If, in the future, you want to use a 2" eyepiece you just need to unscrew the adapter.

**Q: Hello all..new to this..would I a novis be getting the right one ?...... I am so looking forward to learning as have the time now..60yr old bricky..worn out ha ha...any advice would be greatfully received, many thanks
David..would love to see Jupiter's moons etc**
A: It's never too late to start! The 130 SLT is a lovely telescope and you can see Jupiter's moons with it and just about make out the stripes on the planet. It tracks well with the computer aligned correctly but it absolutely scoffs batteries so I would recommend a battery pack or dc transformer (this would require an extension lead so the battery pack may be better but is more expensive).So far I have been really pleased with it as a beginner astronomer!Good luck with your choice!!

**Q: Is it possible to control the movement of the mount via a laptop?**
A: Yes, using a serial connector to the lap top (or usb to serial adapter if the lap top does not have a serial port) and a cable that plugs into the bottom of the handset.  The Celestron web site has further details.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant little scope
*by A***L on 14 February 2014*

This telescope is my first, and a great way to get into astronomy, have had it a couple of months now. And it is so much fun, it was so simple to get going, I had it up and running in ten mins on my first go!!,the planets and moon through this are great, Jupiter is my fave, looks like a white pea with a couple of reddish lines going through it, and 4to7little dots next to it(moons), don't sound great but remember this is a small low priced telescope(great value for the money),you are not gonna see loads with this. But, it will teach you so much about the night sky,and it's really portable, i carry it in a big bag, and it takes only ten minutes to get it out and running, the goto is not 100percent accurate, but it points you in the right direction, and your own brain works out the rest( makes you feel useful), the eye pieces you get are quite good, get a Barlow and it's all you need, I bought some really expensive ones, but on the intention of a much bigger scope in a year or 2, they don't make a great deal of difference with this low powered scope, it really is a great learning tool tho, and I'll never get rid of it, as it will great for my 2 year old in a few years time .And highly recommend it as a beginners only telescope
